Diabetes and Prevention
The 2025 Diabetes Atlas reports that around 84.7 million adults in the Middle East and North Africa had diabetes in 2024. That figure is expected to rise to 163 million by 2050, and 37.2% of those affected are unaware they have the condition. Type 2 diabetes is associated with physical inactivity, diets high in sugar and fat, and excess weight. Early detection and regular checkups can help limit its complications. People with diabetes can manage the condition by following their treatment plan, eating a healthy diet, doing at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity each week, and monitoring their blood sugar and attending medical checkups. Type 2 diabetes can also be prevented or delayed through lifestyle changes. Type 1 diabetes, by contrast, requires insulin, and there is no approved way to prevent it.
